the right way to invest blog

At some point every investor, trader, or stock picker has dreamt of buying a stock right before some major news turning him/her into a retired millionaire seemingly overnight.

It’s fair to think that way, and I’ve done it myself several times. After all we buy stocks to see our investments go up in value. So wouldn't it be great to buy stocks before the market goes up? This is called market timing. Others might tell you it's impossible to time the market. Well, it's actually pretty easy to do. Click here to find out how.

We’re all told by someone that we should save our money and then we should invest it in stocks and bonds; but are we really ready to invest, is there a time when we aren’t yet ready to invest? Click here to read why and find out your answer.

We invest to make money. We buy stocks because we want to see the stock price go up. Have you ever met anyone who buys a stock hoping it will go down in price? But we also invest because we want to see our stocks go up more than the stocks we didn’t pick or all of the stocks out there (known as the market).
